FurBabies by Nancy Beiman for December 30, 2023

We have a whole new year in two more days. We can start working on it now. No since in waiting until January 1. Smile when you see a stranger. Open a door when someone’s hands are full.

Amen. Keep cuddling Floof.

I would rather watch my cat run up the curtains than read the news. She’s a sanity saver.

I agree! Bad enough our nation is going down in flames, we don’t need AI in our lives!

Amen…sigh….

It SHOULD be peace!

For some reason, humans have a really hard time giving peace a chance.

Because it’ll never happen, Katie. It’s a good wish, though.

How poignant!

Isn’t “A.I.” 2 words?

Thank you Nancy! Having friends and family in both Ukraine and Israel…..I wish for Peace much more so than most.

A.I. is an obtuse choice by Collins. Besides that, I love today’s FurBabies!

Of course, A.I. isn’t a word, in—er, any sense of the word! That’s a nice card, though!

♫ Let there be peace on earth

And let it begin with me

Let There Be Peace on Earth

The peace that was meant to be

With God as our Father

Brothers all are we

Let me walk with my brother

In perfect harmony.

Let peace begin with me

Let this be the moment now.

With ev’ry step I take

Let this be my solemn vow

To take each moment and live

Each moment in peace eternally

Let there be peace on earth

And let it begin with me ♫

Sad but Beautiful sentiment and art.

Amen, Kate!

PS to Collins Dictionary: Artificial Intelligence is TWO words.

World Domination is more interesting than World Peace, and easier to achieve! ……….Oh! Did I say that out loud?

The lighting in this piece speaks absolute volumes – that dark wash feels like the summation of this year.

I wish I could give Kate and her friends a hug and tell them it will be okay. I wish I could convince myself of it, too.

Hear! Here!

My Christmas sweater arrived today! It’s either a little late or very early.

“Artificial Intelligence is no match for natural stupidity.” ~~anon.But when the two of them combine? May God help us, cause everyone else will be dead or running for Alpha Centauri.

Every day for the last 8 years I have said something nice to a stranger. Unfortunately, I sometimes slip up and get angry with people I know and love. Trying to do better. Haven’t had an angry howl in over 2 months.

No, thank you for sharing!!

I thought it would be “Swiftie.”
